Goal

Customers wishing to download BIOS / UEFI / SP firmware for Oracle / Sun Servers can go directly to this link to locate and download the latest firmware for their system.

Oracle / Sun firmware is delivered as a patch, and the download page can be found at:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/patches/firmware/release-history-jsp-138416.html

As well as the latest version of firmware, this site also contains the release history for each of the previous versions of the firmware and upgrade / installation information.

All of the links available here require you to be logged in to MOS before you can get to them.

Please observe the My Oracle Support sign-in instructions contained on the page prior to making your selection.

Fix

If you cannot find the firmware appropriate for your Oracle / Sun system, please visit the Oracle Community discussion threads and you may find a reference to them there.

Alternatively, post a new thread in the appropriate community, and one of the Oracle community engineers will reply to you.

You can find the Oracle Communities here at:

https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/sun_x86_systems/482

Use the Find a Community - Quick find box on the left to locate your required community

All firmware and patches for Exadata/Exalogic/Exalytics machines are controlled and tested by Oracle DB engineering. Any firmware update is delivered and distributed as an Oracle DB Enterprise Linux O/S patch, as Exa has built-in scripts (/opt/oracle.cellos/CheckHWnFWProfile) to check and re-flash the firmware to Exa specific versions, distributed within the O/S patch.
